Hello!

I am a big comic book fan, but I have a hard time to find any new series or albums that I might like. That´s where you come in (I hope): I thought that it would be interesting to see what others like to read and maybe find some new favorites

I´ll Start!

Pinocchio: Vampire Slayer



This is exactly as weird as it sounds. It is, however, good-weird

It is about Pinocchio after the original story ended (Note; original book story, not disney version) and Gepetto is killed by Vampires. Pinocchio accidentally learns that by lying he has an infinite stash of vampire killing stakes.

I was pleasantly surprised by this comic! I went in with the assumption that it would just be some weird parody novel, but in the end I quite liked it. It is kind of funny but still creepy at times. I really recommend it!

I'm at work ill update with a full list later

for now: Y: the last man

Flashpoint: Knight of Vengeance



This is a twist on the Batman universe where Bruce Wayne´s parents weren´t killed and it actually was his dad who became the Batman. A really cynical and angry Batman. Think The Punisher, but insanely rich.

There are only 2 issues so far, but they are great! All the different characters from the Batman universe are reworked so they fit the new storyline, and it is just great!

Do webcomics count?

If so

Homestuck

Unknown Soldier- dc vertigo. Raw and brilliant.
Daomu - (issue 4 now so 1 should still be around)- great artwork and story. It's HUGE in China. This is my fave at the mo.

The Gotham City Sirens series is awesome.

8-Bit theater is the only webcomic I can really stomach. Funny as hell.

Penny Arcade and Cyanide & Happiness are both amazing.

Y: the Last Man

after an unknown disease kills EVERY male and Y chromosome on earth Yorick and his Monkey Ampersand Travel the world in search for a way to save humanity



SuperMan Red Son

a what if story, many roles are reversed in this story including SuperMan's Landing in Soviet Russia and becoming a Communist. considered the best Elseworld ever made


my personal favorite btw

All Star Superman

a great trade that encapsulates EVERYTHING to like about the man of steel, an animated feature has been made but i consider it inferior to the trade as certain stories are removed to shorten the movie.



No Hero

the less I ruin about the story the better



Transmetropolitan

nuff said





these are all damn good, I'll post more later

I´m going to try to get a hold of Y: The last man and Gotham city sirens to start with now. I have heard a lot of good things about Transmetropolitan, but have never gotten around to buying it. I will do so sometime however

Superman: Red Son is brilliant as well! I can very much recommend it to anyone!

As for webcomics, I have read and enjoyed all of your recommendations so far and can join in your recommendations there too

Just a Pilgrim



A very well written post-apocalyptic comic written by Garth Ennis of The Punisher and Preaher fame. It is quite depressing, but very well written and with nice art. Highly recommended!
